ModernLove's Reviews:

The Literary Equivalent of a Smile

March 23, 2015 by ModernLove 11 Comments

I loved this book. Go buy it and read it now. That’s enough a review, right? No? Okay, fine. I’ll write some more. I was so excited when I found out we were getting more Tiny Cooper. This is such a joy of a character and I could read another five or six books staring him. If you haven’t yet read Will Grayson, Will Grayson, where we first meet Tiny, I will highly recommend that to you, as well. It’s a Levithan/John Green joint, and […]

Ish Is Starting to Get Real

February 25, 2015 by ModernLove Leave a Comment

Finally, it is here. The (at least for me) eagerly-awaited third book in Maureen Johnson’s fantastic Shades of London series. To catch up, you can read my reviews of the first two books right over here. Caught up? Excellent. I won’t say this book was the best in the series, but it’s pretty amazing. I warn you, there are spoilers for the first two books ahead, so if you haven’t yet read them and plan on it, skip this post and come find me once you’re done The […]

A meandering, immature look at college life.

February 19, 2015 by ModernLove Leave a Comment

Disclosure: I received this book for free from NetGalley in return for a honest review. I love reading memoirs and biographies. Famous people, people with interesting life stories, people who have done something. I especially love reading about strong women who have gone out there and done amazing things. This? This was not one of them. This read like a vanity project of a woman who thought she had an interesting life and wanted to share the lessons she’s learned. It was too long, written […]

Southern Smartass Meets British Ghosthunters

February 12, 2015 by ModernLove Leave a Comment

I apologize because this got a little long and away from me! To be fair, I was reviewing two books… Today we are doing a 2-for-1, since these are the first two books in Maureen Johnson’s Shades of London series. The third book just came out (I got my copy today!), so I wanted to re-read the first two and catch myself up on the story. I sped through these books. I am an unapologetic fan of Maureen and will rabidly consume anything she writes. This […]
